"These F-king Kids": Stranger Things Season 5 Director Reveals Greatest Challenge For Show’s Filming Window

The age of the Stranger Things cast has been addressed by one of the show’s directors. The popular Netflix show is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana and follows supernatural threats being battled by the townspeople, including the adults, the teenagers, and especially the tweens. However, while the ages of the cast members roughly matched the ages of their characters when season 1 premiered, it has been eight years since production commenced on that season, and delays in the upcoming fifth and final season are creating a wider gap between the ages of the cast and their characters.
